I have decided to develop this dedicated introductions section of the forum to prune content a little.

Up until now there has not been an area for newbies to arrive at before jumping head first into a thread which can be intimidating to say the least, given the wealth of knowledge on this forum.

Please say hello, tell us a little about yourself, let us know where you are from, how you found out about Oak Island and what your initial thoughts on the mystery are.

Looking forward to seeing you online!

hi all my name as you can see it matt and im a new member
I stumbled upon this site by mr.Hennigar who I am gratefull to for his patience .
I fist came across the Oak Island mystery while looking in the lost treasure sites and found this particular one curious .
well I now spend a good part of my free time reading about alot of things I never did before and that is a treasure in itself .
however I do believe I can pin point an entrance into a tunnle that is totally free of collapse due to the sea water and belive alot of what I read in the "money pit saga "to be alittle misguided by ambision.
however hind sight might be 20/20 we can still use all the clues left behind.
the questions I found answers to have left me with new questions and unfortunately those answers wont be solved until I get to talk to some one who has attempted to find the caverns entrance and their almost surely not going to talk to me .
just wanted to say hi .

Hi Mathhew,
Welcome to the forum. You will find this to be a great sounding board for information to put together theories. Everything from the city of Atlantis to a water filtration has been debated. There is a wealth information and opinion, and as long as you can take a punch once in a while, you'll love the forum. Look forward to seeing some of your info.

Welcome to the OITF, and glad to see you took the chance to make use of the 'New Members' section Jo just recently created. If your an OI (Oak Island) enthusiast, I don't think you'll regret your decision in joining this forum, seeing as it is the hotspot on the web for everything OI related.

Well what is considered a new member...I have been a member for a while now but haven't really posted much.... more of a lurker.

My name is Debbie and I live in Fern Park Florida. I found out about Oak Island from my dad who used to treasure hunt here in Florida. He truly has some fascinating stories about days with Mel Fisher before he was famous and with Frank Hudson among others. He told me that at one point Hudson was interested in OI and gave my dad some papers and what not about it. I have asked if he knows where they are and he said he will look.

As for what I think the mystery is...I have no idea but I do believe it will be solved soon. I am inclined to think that the swamp is somehow involved more than most think, but that is just my opinion.

Arrr matey indeed......

You already have some posts, but I'll welcome you anyway. Mel Fisher...............now there's a guy I wish I could have gotten to meet...............now I'm just getting side-tracked. I too feel that the swamp does and will have a much larger part to play in this mystery; what that part is I do not know.
